Compensation and choice question.

Just got a verbal offer as a Senior Manager at a B/C round startup. Role would be in Product Strategy for their key product (Hardware) in a hot field. Would be based in NYC. Offer is 170k + equity which is currently being decided - was only told it would be sizeable.

Currently have 5 YOE. To complicate things I also got accepted to MIT Sloan. Is this a fair offer, and good enough to skip MBA?

Cash comp is really, really good for your YOE. I would expect $80-200k equity comp (spread over 4 years). (Source: someone who was first biz hire at a company that sold to LinkedIn, and currently at a later stage startup)

What would be the goal of the MBA?

How many other people in your role will there be?

As for the equity amount, I think it is. I assume you’re non technical and the assumption is that the equity value -3-5-10x over the next 5-10 years

Would need to see equity to see if it’s fair or not - base sounds like what you’d expect but equity will be make or break

Can you defer?

my sister deferred MIT for a few years for their masters program. Should at least try

That’s on par or better with what you would make coming out of MBA, and it’s a super desirable post mba role. I’d highly recommend taking the role unless you need the mba for a specific purpose like building a network for entrepreneurship, etc

like

Honestly the name of the startup would also be useful in making judgement

I can DM if helpful

For reference, I’m European so not 100% on comp in US. Would also be great to know what reasonable equity ask is? Are there resources to check this?

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks
